Here is the Finisterre Lighthouse, Km 0 of the Camino a Finisterre, the view of the COSTA DA MORTE, etc. Perhaps because Cape Fisterra hides the true secret of the Costa da Morte: rugged landscapes and impressive beaches, some (sheltered by the cape) with calm waters and others with strong waves such as Mar de Fora, one of the wildest beaches in Galicia.

Finisterre Lighthouse (Faro de Fisterra)

It is very probably the most visited in Europe as well as the closest to America.
Built in 1853, 138 meters above sea level. Considered the cape of the end of the world “Finis Terrae”.
